    [Directions]

    1. Using a large bowl, add the butter, dark/light brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk until it’s fully combined and bears a slightly thick consistency.
    2. Add the egg and the vanilla extract, then whisk them together to combine them. The mixture SHOULD appear lighter afterwards.
    3. Add the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until it appears to be loosely combined.
    4. Add the chocolate chips and mix until it appears to be evenly combined.
    5. Install the NINJA Airfryer’s SearPlate into the bottom level of the unit, and then close the door. Select “RAPID BAKE”, set the temperature to 350 *Fahrenheit (176.667 *Celcius), and set the timer to 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. Press the setting dial in to begin preheating.
    6. Portion the dough into 24 balls, around 1 tablespoon in size each. Once the dough is divided, press each dough ball down to flatten slightly, and then sprinkle each with kosher salt.
    7. Once the unit has preheated, open the door and carefully remove the SearPlate with oven mutts, and place atop the oven. Place 12 cookies on the trap in four rows of three, spaced around 1-inch apart. Reinstall the SearPlate in the bottom level of the unit and close the door to begin baking.
    8. Once the baking has been completed, remove the SearPlate and set it aside so it may cool down. Allow the cookies to cool off for around 7 to 10 minutes before serving. The remaining cookie dough can either be baked as well, refrigerated for up to a week's time, or frozen for a month.
